a similar renaming can be done for “midland” to “east midlands”, which will include derbyshire, nottinghamshire, leicestershire, rutland and northamptonshire, again following the government office regional boundary (excluding lincolnshire). in this way, the borders have some basis in reality, rather than being drawn at random.

I would suggest making all of the text center justified to keep everything consistent and neat.

Actually I think you could. Make the wall in the style of the mountains (line color and glow). Like this. It is subtle but still looks like a wall and fits the theme of the map.gimil wrote:spiesr wrote:Can you make Hadrian's Wall look like a wall, like how the original did?
I cant make it look like a wall because of the style of the map, it wouldnt fit.

On the box of The British Isles zoomed out, above "Revamped By Gimil, 2007", there is a difference between the large and small. On the small map, the box either has a drop shadow or a extra thick left border, but the left border on the large map is normal.
Again, the map looks great.

I was trying not to make the river any thicker than it needed to be

no worries, just draw it so the land becomes covered up a bit more instead of the river.
